This game is over...Wisconsin's been stuck on 27 for the whole second half lol. They won't get to 47 by the end of the game, even if Butler stops scoring.

If Andrew Smith is hurt significantly, and it projects to affect his services next season, it might literally change the landscape of whether Brad Stevens stays at Butler or not.

If he is healthy, Butler is returning 7 of their top 10 players and bring in a decent class. They will be primed (and expected) to make another deep, deep run.

I don't know if he re-injured himself, but he was back in the game after the injury. It turned out to be an ankle injury instead of a knee injury.

I guess that's what I get for watching it on delay!

I see that now.

Great news.

If Leuer and Taylor shoot a decent percentage they are right there, but thats only if.

Gotta hand it to Brad Stevens. Pretty impressive what Butler has been doing in the NCAA Tournament lately.

Christ, how bad has Butler been with this press? Its not like they are playing Nolan Richardson's Arkansas teams from the mid 90s...

another big game for Howard

great hustle and he has some impressive post moves

definitely don't like the matchup for Butler on paper against Florida but then again they keep winning NCAA tourney games so I wouldn't put it past them

If I am Florida I'd start the game with the full court press. Id make Butler prove they can beat the 90 ft of defense.
